BlueJay PIC32MZ MultiBoard

PDF datasheet and reference files.

The Black Oak Engineering (BOE) BlueJay PIC32MZ MultiBoard (#BE-BLUJ) goes beyond a typical eval or demo board. It is a Single Board Computer (SBC) designed to take on many jobs. It also makes a good training tool. It is like a Swiss Army Knife that fits on your pocket (in an ESD bag!). It is compact, but still large enough to be useful. It is based on the popular and widely available Microchip PIC32MZ 32 bit processor. It has a wide operating temperature range of -40 to +85 °C (-40 to +185 °F). It lends itself well to the development of systems for data acquisition, user interface, AI/ML/Edge, IOT, automation, and OEM integration.

A Board Support Package (BSP) and a complete set of various tested drivers are available at our GitHub. BOE releases source code and other collateral under an attached MIT license.

BlueJay supports these dedicated standard interface formats:

• Arduino Uno R3 ‘Shield’. Note, this includes many Shields for other Arduinos.
• MikroBus ‘Click’. A popular small format from MikroElektronika.
• Ethernet. Note, BOE manufacturers a ‘Wing’ daughterboard with PHY.
• Raspberry Pi ‘Hat’.
• EBI / PMP High speed 16-bit parallel buses. Used, e.g., for displays & data acquisition.
• These breakouts may also be used for General Purpose IO.
• Hundreds of commercially available daughter boards may be used.
• BlueJay is often used as a ‘bridge’ between various protocols and boards.

BlueJay may be operated from a standard lithium polymer battery, which BlueJay charges from its power source (USB-C or a header connection).

BOE is continuously improving. We also strive to keep one step ahead of procurement shortfalls. We will deliver to you the latest hardware version possible. In some cases specifications will change.

Options

Lithium Polymer battery

• 3.7 V, 700 mA-hr.
• Standard JST 2 mm connector on wire leads.
• Battery is charge managed as long as an external 5 Vdc source is present.
• Note, lithium batteries may not generally be transported via passenger aircraft.

Environmental

• Temperature. -40 to +85 °C (-40 to +185 °F), excluding battery option.
• Humidity / water exposure. The PCBA does not include a protective enclosure. Nor is it conformally coated. Condensing humidity and water exposure must be completely avoided.
